We’ve all experienced the embarrassment that only a sibling can inflict so spare a thought for golfing champion Danny Willett who has been forced to apologise for his outspoken brother’s spectacular online rant where he called American golfing fans a “baying mob of imbeciles”, “brainless bastards” and an “angry, unwashed, Make America Great Again swarm”.

Peter Willett, a teacher based in Solihull, now faces disciplinary action after his school said that his views on Americans “do not represent the views or values of Grace Academy Solihull.”

Peter, Danny’s brother, advised Europe Captain Darren Clarke to “silence” American fans and happily ripped into the nation displaying an impressive use of descriptive language in his Nation Club Golfer article ahead of the Ryder Cup.

“For the Americans to stand a chance of winning, they need their baying mob of imbeciles to caress their egos every step of the way. Like one of those brainless bastards from childhood... they only have the courage to keg you if they’re backed up by a giggling group of reprobates. Team Europe needs to shut those groupies up.”

“They need to silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling, irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and pissy beer, pausing between mouthfuls of hotdog so they can scream ‘Baba booey’ until their jelly faces turn red.”

He didn’t stop there, taking a dig at Trump supporters.

“They need to stun the angry, unwashed, Make American Great Again swarm, desperately gripping their concealed-carry compensators and belting out a mini-erection inducing ‘mashed potato’, hoping to impression their cousin.”

In case he hadn’t exploited every stereotype, Peter turned his pen to well-groomed Americans and even brought in poor Cecil the Lion.

“They need to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children. Squeezed into their cargo shorts and boating shoes, they’ll bellow ‘get in the hole’ whilst high-fiving all the other members of the Dentists’ Big Game Hunt Society.”

Clarke said: “I showed it to Danny and he’s bitterly disappointed in his brother’s article. It is not what Danny thinks. It is not what I think. It is not what Team Europe stands for. So Danny was unaware of it and he fully intends to speak to his brother whenever he comes in and express his displeasure to his brother about it, because that is not what Team Europe stands for.”

Danny himself said: “I’d just like to apologise obviously to everyone involved for what’s been said. I said to Pete that I was obviously disappointed in what was said and what was written about the American fans.”

Peter Willetts faces serious consequences after the school he teaches at, Grace Academy Solihull, released a statement revealing that it was considering disciplinary action.

“The views expressed by Peter Willett in National Club Golfer do not represent the views or values of Grace Academy Solihull, the Trust, or the hard-working teachers, and students who are focussed on becoming positive global citizens. While we cannot comment on the specific details of the case, we can confirm that the matter is being dealt with in accordance with our disciplinary procedure.”

But this is not the first time that Peter has caused his superstar brother to squirm in embarrassment. The avid twitter user, who has almost 25,000 followers on the site, live tweeted his brother’s victory at the 2016 Masters, swearing, drinking and joking his way through the contest, with plenty of digs at his brother’s opponent Jordan Spieth.

He criticised Mr Spieth for taking his time lining up his putt.

And happily referenced his childhood battles with the new 2016 Masters champion.

Something tells us the mood won’t be so merry when the brothers next meet up.
